Windows 7: BSOD, DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE(9f) - ntoskrnl.exe

Please help me, my PC is BSOD-ing while trying to I don't know, Sleep or Hibernate (I'm using hybrid). Sometimes it happens, and sometimes not for these past few days. I conducted some research and found out that it is because of a somewhat unstable driver. So..

In that case you might need to either stop using that adapter or to disable sleep. Time will tell it clearly.

Errrr, stop using it? :/ Anyway after re-installing the driver and reseating the adapter (it's a replacement adapter),my PC survived the night without BSOD-ing. I have to add that I also uninstalled Hotspot Shield. It went to Sleep with no problem and Hibernated with no problem, I'll continue to monitor this and if problem persist, I guess I'll just have to buy a new adapter?

I'm back, and the problem is back as well. I followed what you suggested, I disabled the adapter and now I'm using a USB LAN adapter but the problem still occurs, does disabling it not enough? Anyway, attached is a new ZIP file generated by the DM Log Collector. Also, if it's not too much to ask, can you tell me what file to access so I can check what driver is causing the BSOD?

BSOD - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE, ntoskrnl.exeI am getting random BSODs over the last two days. Most of the time I was away from the computer, but today was the first time I got a BSOD while using the computer. I built this rig around September 5th, 2011 and installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate at that time.
